Hi there.
I'm in the middle of purchasing a new vehicle, and since this one will be my precious [/gollum], I've decided that a dash-cam would be a worthwhile investment.
Must-have-features:
-built-in GPS, no external antennae or cords other than power
-at least 720p video quality @ 30fps (somewhat flexible)
-small form factor; to be placed behind rearview mirror
-integrated mic
Bonusthese would be nice, though not a deal-breaker)
-ability to hardwire into fuse box (12V)
-Dual camera
-G-sensor
-parked mode
As this is something intended to break the tie between my word and someone else's, or to catch someone abusing the car while I'm not around, I'm looking for something I can set and forget until I need it.
These are what I was looking at prior to finding this forum:
http://www.spytechs.com/Car-Cameras/dual-view-cam.htm
http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/produ ... +camera.do
http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/produ ... car+cam.do
But while they have most of the feature set I'm looking for, unfortunately the video quality leaves something to be desired. That, and from what I've read, Brickhouse is not to be trusted.
I won't say cost is no object, but it's not really a major consideration at the moment. I don't like buying junk, and will spend what is necessary to get something good.
What can you guys recommend? Is there anything that would fit me better than the http://dashcamtalk.com/itronics-itb-100hd/?
Appreciate your advice!
